Requests to dismiss human rights application for timeliness and lack of merit denied pending evidence.
The respondent requested that the human rights application be dismissed for being out of time or for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal denied both requests, finding that evidence was required to determine whether there was a series of incidents within the meaning of section 34(b) of the Human Rights Code, and that the merits of the application could not be assessed without evidence.
The requests for dismissal and a summary hearing were denied at this time.
Human rights application alleging age discrimination in student housing rent increase dismissed.
The applicant, a university student, alleged age discrimination after her landlord, a university housing organization, increased her rent beyond the provincial guideline.
The landlord relied on an exemption in the Residential Tenancies Act for student housing.
The Tribunal found the application was filed in a timely manner but dismissed it as having no reasonable prospect of success, noting the applicant challenged the legislation itself rather than the landlord's actions, and the landlord could not be held liable for the legislation.
